Ep. 37 – 3 flexible retirement withdrawal strategies to maximize spending during your lifetime
Have you heard of the 4% rule?! It’s the most recognized benchmark for safe withdrawal rates in retirement. However, it lacks flexibility and often leaves retirees “under-spending,” particularly in their prime retirement years.
Think Advisor put out this article (link below) that touched on three alternatives to the 4% rule and how they can potentially increase your spending capacity over time, while also protecting downside risk (outliving your assets).
I hope you enjoy this episode!
